TEAM EFA LiNKS

CHARiTY OF THE MONTH PROGRAM

Each month, TEAM EFA designates one animal charity as our Charity of the Month.

All EFA Charities of the Month is the charity of choice of at least one EFA member.

EFA members who choose to donate a portion of their product sales to the EFA Charity of the Month, please tag those listings with our cotm tag.

If after the month is done & your products are still tagged with the cotm tag then those will go to benefit next month's cotm. If you wish to donate a percentage to another charity, including a -previous- cotm, please remove 'cotm' from your tag.

Using these tags helps to identify your pledge and makes it easier for shoppers & Treasury makers to locate your cotm products.

This week's Pinterest Treasury is dedicated to the art of knitting (and crocheting, because let's face it, they're both great!). There is so much that these stitches can do, so let's celebrate by enjoying some EFA members' HANDiwork ;)

These listings from the Etsy for Animals team benefit our monthly charity, to which each sale will donate a percentage of proceeds. In January, we are featuring A New Rattitude, a non-profit organization that works with rat terriers.

This week, a group of experts advised the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to permanently retire more than 300 government-owned research chimps to a sanctuary, but also recommended leaving 50 behind to use in experiments.

Please send a letter to NIH Director Francis Collins asking that all government-owned research chimps be retired to a sanctuary where they can live out their days in peace.

The legislative session has started in Massachusetts and animal advocates are working to pass bills that will protect dogs and cats from irresponsible breeders, end extreme confinement for farm animals and crack down on illegal hunting to protect wildlife.

Please send a letter to state representatives asking them to support these important bills for animals.

The Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary and Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary off the California coastline are home to a number of species from whales to coral and sit near an area that provides nutrient rich food they need to survive. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced it would consider a proposal to double the size of these two sanctuaries, which will protect the them from drilling and other destructive activities. Please sign the petition supporting the expansion of these two sanctuaries. http://www.thepetitionsite.com/136/154/267/double-northern-californias-national-marine-sanctuaries/
